Episode 178 // Happy Valentine’s Day! Let’s get into the good stuff today, friend - because I know you want a hot and steamy date night with your man this week.. and every other week too.
Intimacy is usually not a problem while we’re dating and in the newlywed stage. But then kids come along, we get busy, the bills pile up… what about date nights??!
I’ve been a Christian marriage counselor for over 10 years. Yes, I know that date night isn’t a magic wand for your marriage. But I also know that it can make a big difference. So I want to share some practical ideas for how to have fun (sometimes for free!) and enjoy more fabulous date nights with your man.
Ready? Let’s dive in.
hugs & blessings,
Jess
